If Stratos is from a new DC/MOTU 2-pack, I wonder who he will be matched up with.

If it isn't Hawkman, I'll be extremely disappointed!

* She-Ra & Supergirl are both long lost blood relatives to He-Man & Superman.

* She-Ra has Swiftwind & Supergirl has Comet The Superhorse.

* She-Ra & Supergirl both have powers similar to their heroic relatives(along with some additional ones).

* She-Ra was manipulated by Hordak to bring her to his side and Supergirl(at least in current continuity) was manipulated by Darkseid to bring her to his side.

I think Wonder Woman fits better with Teela since they are both highly skilled fighters who specialize in hand-to-hand combat(She-Ra uses a sword more often than not). They were both created artificially. Wonder Woman from mud & clay and Teela is a clone.

Hard to argue with that logic.

I still hope for Wonder Woman, as I am hoping they only use characters from Super Powers. I don't collect DCUC but wouldn't mind getting Super Powers-like figures for pure nostalgic value.

I'm excited about blue-winged Stratos. That's the version I had as a kid and has always been *the* version, as far as I'm concerned. I just hope it isn't in another silly DCU 2 pack. I know I'm in the minority on that, but enough is enough.

By the way, what is "all-chrome She-Ra"? Does that just mean She-Ra with the two-toned silver sword? The shield she's holding still looks like it's on the golden side to me. Hard to tell with the lighting.

Wonder Woman makes sense since she's DC's most popular female hero. I'm also putting way more thought into this than Mattel probably is.

I'm with you. I'm not collecting DCUC(good thing too since I wouldn't have any room to walk in my house between that & MOTUC) but I wouldn't mind some DC toys since Super Powers was one of my favorite toylines as a kid.

Very interesting points...some of which I didn't know, but my vote still goes for Wonder Woman:

- Both are the main heroines of their own lines
- Both are the strongest women in their universes (arguably, for Wonder Woman)
- Both have tiaras
- Both have magical weapons (sword and lasso...and She-Ra liked to turn her sword into a lasso a lot)
- Both fly
- Both have mothers who are Queens
- Both are surrounded by a society of almost all women (Themyscira is all women except for pilot Steve Trevor, who crash lands there...and Bow is the only male among all the PoP ladies in the toys. Ironically, Marlena..her mother..pilots a ship that also crashes in a strange land, Eternia)
- Both have powerful villains from hell trying to get complete control over a planet (Hordak/Fright Zone/Etheria is not COMPLETELY taken over and Ares/literally hell/causes all the wars, hatred, fighting, etc. on Earth)
- Both were stolen as babies and brainwashed...kind of (Wonder Woman's twin sister Nubia was kidnapped and raised by Mars, brainwashed by his ring. She fought her sister nearly to the death. Nubia is the black Wonder Woman).
- Both have powerful secret identities. Adora is the leader of the rebellion and a fighter. Diana Prince is a secret agent.
- Both have had their own toylines. Supergirl has never had her own. Wonder Woman = prototypes for Wonder Woman and the Starriders AND she had the small line of her newest comic book series figures.
- Wonder Woman has a magical winged unicorn, pegasus, pegacorn...whatever you want to name it, just like She-Ra. His name is Nightshine.
- Wonder Woman also has a Crystal Castle-like place (seen in pic with Nightshine). If you don't go for that, Themyscira is hidden by clouds just like Crystal Castle so no man can find it.

That's it for now, but LOTS of comparisons.

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

I think so. It still counts. She rides endless horses into battle in the comic though. I have only read the comics Nubia is in, the George Perez years and some of the newer WW comics...so I can't be certain where Nightshine originated. I think Mattel created him for her though.

Nightshine was Swiftwind...repainted!

I wasn't trying to find "holes" in your opinion, I just didn't remember Wonder Woman having a pet unicorn. It's too bad she doesn't have one in the comics.

It really was nuts that Mattel designed a whole new line around Wonder Woman that was basically just POP 2.0.
